INTRODUCTORY
The
author,
in
presenting
this
volume
to
the
public,
begs
to
state
that
his
intention
in
compiling
it
is
not
to
have
it
recorded
as
one
of
the
literary
marvels
of
the
day,
but
to
give
to
the
"prince
of
good
fellows"
a
guide
of
value
for
his
home,
club,
hotel
or
cafe.
As
previously
stated
in
his
first
issue,
it
is
only
practical
experience,
through
long
association
with
the
leading
Amer-
ican
hotels
and
clubs,
which
enables
him
to
publish
this
volume,
the
most
complete
of
its
kind
ever
issued.
In
the
various
recipes,
reference
is
made
only
to
wines
and
ingredients
of
the
highest
character.

the
advertising
section,
contained
at
the
end
of
this
book,

only

as

been
preferred
by
the
author;
and
as
their

has
proven
satis-
factory
and
pleased
many
thousand
guests,
he
would
sug-
gest
their
preference
in
your
mixing.
